<span>Nouns
are names of a person, animal, place, event, etc. It could be proper or common
noun. Common nouns are names of general items and you find them everywhere you
go. These words are not usually capitalized, except if it is the starting word
in a sentence. Proper nouns on the other hand are more specific names and they
are capitalized. When clauses substitute the noun’s role, then they are called ‘noun
clauses’. Therefore, noun clauses can be direct object or subject. To find
them, one must look for the verb first and try to ask questions with ‘who’ or ‘what’.</span>

This is because sand dollars have small spines on their bodies, which in addition to allowing them to move forward on the ocean floor with great speed, allows them to hide in the sand, preventing their predators from finding them.
